WRAPPING MACHINE PRINTER ARRANGEMENT AND WRAPPING MACHINE FILM CUTTER ARRANGEMENT
A wrapping machine for wrapping trayed food products includes a wrap station at which trayed food products are wrapped and a film dispensing system for drawing out film at the wrap station. A conveying system moves trayed food products through the wrapping machine. The machine may include a printer and label apply arrangement positioned for applying labels to trayed food products after wrapping, where the printer and label apply arrangement includes a support that is pivotable between an operating position and an access position. The film dispensing system may include a knife movable for cutting the film, and opposite ends of the knife are mechanically linked via spaced apart first and second belts to maintain alignment of the opposite ends.
Structural rework of cellular core panels
Methods for reworking structures and reworked cellular core panels, reworked structures comprising the reworked cellular core panels, and guides and cutting apparatuses for reworking cellular acoustic panels and reworking cellular non-acoustic panels are disclosed.
Device for the robotic printing of individually-printed books, and associated method
A device for manufacturing a book on demand, including a cover printing or receiving station designed to respectively print or receive a cover, a body printing or receiving station designed to respectively print or receive a body, a binding station designed to join together the body and the cover, a conveyor designed and/or programmed to convey the cover and/or the body between the different stations, the device is designed to deposit glue in a gluing region on the verso of the cover inside the binding station before the cover and the body are joined together by gluing, forming a book.
System and method of post-cure processing of composite core
A method of cutting a wafer of composite core from a bulk composite core includes stabilizing the bulk composite core with a fixture, the bulk composite core having a plurality of tube members. The method also includes cutting through each of the tube members to create the wafer while the bulk composite core is stabilized by the fixture.
Appliance for cutting fruit or vegetables
An appliance for cutting food, particularly fruit and vegetables, includes a base and at least one cutting blade. The base includes a surface for receiving the food and a device for translatably guiding the cutting blade that is to be moved back and forth by the user over the food.
Sheet post-processor and image forming system provided with the same
A sheet post-processor of this disclosure is provided with a punching device and a registration roller. The punching device is capable of forming punch holes along a first side end edge of a sheet parallel to a sheet width direction orthogonal to a sheet conveyance direction and a second side end edge of the sheet parallel to the sheet conveyance direction. The registration roller is disposed downstream of the punching device in the sheet conveyance direction. The punching device includes a punch unit that forms punch holes through a sheet and an edge sensor that detects the second side end edge of a sheet. In a case of forming punch holes along the second side end edge of a sheet, without skewing of the sheet being corrected by the registration roller, the edge sensor detects the second side end edge, while the punch unit forms punch holes through the sheet.
